ZEPHYR COVE, Nev., Aug. 18, 2006 -- American Racing Capital Inc. ("ARC") ("the Company"), , a consulting group dedicated to motorsports sponsorship development and racetrack acquisition and design, and New Jersey Motorsports Park, LLC, jointly announced today that they have mutually agreed to discontinue discussions on a proposed joint partnership to develop a racetrack in southern New Jersey. Construction of the facility is scheduled to begin soon. While ARC will not be involved in the management or ownership of this facility, the companies will continue to work together on marketing, sponsorship and special project opportunities.

Davy Jones, Chief Executive Officer of ARC, said, "After joint exploration, we and New Jersey Motorsports Park have determined that this is not the appropriate venture for our respective companies to jointly pursue. Our relationship with New Jersey Motorsports Park has been mutually beneficial and we part amicably. Management remains focused on the pursuit of alternative racing development projects that can build shareholder value. Our shareholders can be assured that this decision was done with their best interests in mind, and we value the confidence and trust they have placed in our management team."
